Senior Aerospace Development Program Manager

This role is best positioned as a Senior/Lead Aerospace Development Program Manager opportunity with a strong engineering and certification component. The successful candidate must be able to lead a complex aircraft development program across engineering, certification, suppliers, finance, customers, and executive stakeholders.

The key differentiator is that this is not a traditional project manager position focused primarily on schedules. Bombardier needs a technically credible program leader who can integrate the entire aircraft development effort and drive the program from technical definition through certification and customer delivery.

Requirements

• 10+ years of aerospace and/or defense experience, ideally supporting aircraft development programs.
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace Engineering, or another relevant engineering discipline.
• Technical depth sufficient to credibly lead and challenge engineering organizations.
• Aircraft development and certification experience, particularly 14 CFR Part 25.
• Experience working in or alongside an FAA Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) environment.
• Program leadership spanning schedule, cost, risk, technical performance, suppliers, certification, and delivery.
• Experience taking aircraft modifications, new products, or development programs from definition/design through certification and delivery.
• Str
